A parent of one student at the school is still worried.

Ana Orellana said her fears stem from concern for her daughter's safety and the fact that the family does not have health insurance.

"I think they should have closed the school down for a few days to see if there are any more bats before letting the students back in," Orellana said.

A public health official said students are not at risk of contracting rabies from the Mayde Creek High School orchestra teacher because he is not infectious.

"He's perfectly fine once he has had his shots," said Rita Obey, of the Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services Department.

Well that, and the odds of an orchestra teacher biting his students are usually pretty low, too. Or can looks kill these days?

One can always check his collar for his rabies tag.

Michael Jones, who was bitten Monday before school, declined to comment.

As Jones was about to enter his classroom Monday morning, a bat that was trapped inside the room swooped out and grazed him on the back of the head

Grazing someone's head isn't biting. Grazing ON someone's head might be.
